Barcelona Claims Spanish Supercup Title with 3-2 Victory Over Real Madrid in Jeddah

In a thrilling encounter, Barcelona triumphed over their long-standing rivals Real Madrid, securing a 3-2 victory in the Supercopa Española final held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Brazilian forward Raphinha opened the scoring for Barcelona in the 36th minute, but Real Madrid's Vinícius Júnior equalized in the second minute of stoppage time with a remarkable individual effort.

However, Barcelona quickly regained the lead when Robert Lewandowski scored following a brilliant assist from Pedri. Gonzalo García then leveled the match for Real Madrid once again in the seventh minute of first-half stoppage time, capitalizing on a rebound from the crossbar.

In the second half, Raphinha netted his second goal and Barcelona's third in the 73rd minute, benefiting from a deflection off defender Raúl Asensio, which ultimately secured the win for his team.

During stoppage time, two yellow cards were issued, including a direct red card for Frenkie de Jong following a harsh tackle on Kylian Mbappé.

This victory marks Barcelona's third consecutive triumph over Real Madrid in finals, having previously defeated them 5-2 in last year's Supercopa and 3-2 in the Copa del Rey final in April 2025.

The Barcelona coach dismissed a question regarding Mbappé, stating: "Remember Real Madrid's defeats to us with his involvement," while Real Madrid will be looking for redemption in upcoming matches.

The final was a rollercoaster of emotions, reaffirming that the Clásico rivalry remains at the forefront, not just in Spain, but on the global stage.
